Keep reviewing! The more reviews I get the faster I post. Hope you like it and thanks to Tweeter for your advice. I'll also try and lengthen my chapters.
"You heard?" McGee asked as Tony exited the lift. McGee handed him a cup of Starbucks coffee and walked with Tony towards the desks.
"They phoned us at home"
"And?"
"And what?"
"Don't be obtuse Tony" Tony smiled slightly. It had taken a while but McGee had learned to dish out as well as he could take.
"Abby's there now" Tony answered. He sat down at his desk, placed his coffee to one side and started up his computer.
"Why aren't you there with her?"
"Why aren't you?" McGee said nothing but stared at Tony with annoyance. "I didn't want to overcrowd him" He added after a second. McGee nodded.
"I thought I'd go by at lunchtime, you wanna join me"
"If we're not drowning in paperwork" Tony silently hoped for a pile of paperwork to land on his desk. McGee took his seat and began typing at his computer. Tony looked up. "You get the ID yet?" McGee shook his head.
"The body in Ducky's Morgue must have a name so keep at it will you?"
Abby twisted the doorknob and swung open the door. Immediately she spotted the man lying in a bed. A discarded bowl of blue jell-o sitting on his lap and an open newspaper in one hand. He placed the newspaper down and smiled gently at his visitor.
"Hey Abs"
"Hey Gibbs" Abby had no idea what to say to the man. It was obvious from the uncomfortable silken that he didn't know what to say either.
"So…..I've been asleep for two years huh?" Abby nodded. "Why don't you come a bit closer" Gibbs invited when he noticed her hovering in the doorway. Her confidence boosted, she stepped into the room and sat down on the end of his bed. "I've been reading the newspaper hoping to get an idea of what's going on but I don't understand half of it" Abby smirked. "Neither do I and I've been awake" Gibbs laughed. "Half of me still expects to wake up and find that this was all a dream" Abby leaned over and pinched his arm. "Hey! What was that for?" Gibbs rubbed the reddened area.
"It's not a dream Gibbs" Gibbs' eyes fell to his lap.
"No I guess it's not"
"Hey!" Abby swatted his arm. "Just be glad you're not dead. You freaked us all out after the accident"
"You mean the accident that caused me to lose two years of my life but don't remember?" Abby nodded. "How about you fill me in on that"
